The heat exchanger is noisy
Thread Content
We are a thermal power plant, and we are building a new heat exchange station for steam-water heat exchange. For some reason, this heat exchange station is extremely noisy – the sound is sharper than that of a whistle, a loud howling noise; it’s not clear which part is causing the problem. Is it a problem with the opening of the pipes and valves, or is it the noise caused by negative pressure from the heat exchanger and steam? If anyone who knows this can give some advice, please do
Reasons for the excessive pressure difference before and after the valve
It must be related to the valve opening degree. How can this be solved? Is it effective to use a silencer?
Check whether the pipeline is flowing smoothly; it’s advisable to try expanding the steam inlet.
It is necessary to first determine roughly where the noise is coming from; it could be caused by an excessive flow rate
